📰 Lilbits: WiFi 8 hardware is coming this year, LEGO introduces SMART Brick system, and Intel could make handheld-specific Panther Lake chips

CES 2026 appears to be the coming out party for WiFi 8 hardware… which is kind of weird because the WiFi 8 specification isn’t expected to be finalized for a few more years. But it’s not unusual to see companies start to release hardware for a work-in-progress version of the WiFi standard. What is a little .

В GNOME и Firefox отключают вставку из буфера обмена по ПКМ

По словам разработчиков:

Это малоизвестная функция и поведение, которые приводят к путанице у пользователей, когда они нажимают среднюю кнопку мыши, не зная о её функциональности. В большинстве случаев это также происходит случайно, и в такие моменты очень странно видеть, как содержимое буфера обмена вставляется само по себе.


Кроме того, эта функция совершенно неочевидна для обнаружения, и даже на странице wiki Freedesktop вся концепция выделения «PRIMARY» упоминается как «пасхалка».



Корректное поведение можно описать следующим образом: CLIPBOARD работает так же, как буфер обмена в macOS или Windows — он изменяется только при явном копировании/вырезании.
PRIMARY — это «пасхалка» для опытных пользователей; обычные пользователи могут просто игнорировать его: по умолчанию он вставляется только по щелчку средней кнопкой мыши.


Иными словами, «корректным» поведением в Mozilla считают поведение «как в Windows».
Пока что способ «вернуть как было» в Firefox не объявлен.
C другой стороны, в GNOME желание удалить эту функциональность вызвано стремлением удалить все X11-специфичные фичи:

This is an X11ism, originally an xsetting 1
which frequently results is in unexpected behavior
when people pressing the middle mouse button. Goodbye X11.

На данный момент эта функциональность будет отключена по умолчанию. Ожидается, что эти настройки будут удалены в будущем:
GNOME:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-enable-primary-paste true

Loss32 - Windows-подобная система, похожая на ReactOS, но на ядре Linux

Проект Loss32 развивает дистрибутив Win32/Linux, сочетающий ядро Linux с графическим окружением в стиле Windows, построенным на основе Wine и пользовательских компонентов ReactOS. Дистрибутив ориентирован на воссоздание среды рабочего стола Windows и предоставление средств для бесшовного запуска Windows-приложений, но при этом поддерживает и запуск традиционных Linux-программ. Первый прототип Loss32 планируют опубликовать в этом месяце.

Devuan 6.1

2 января состоялся релиз дистрибутива Devuan Excalibur 6.1, основанного на Debian Trixie. Ключевое отличие дистрибутива – это поддержка систем инициализации, отличных от systemd. Дистрибутив поставляется по умолчанию с окружением Xfce. Пакеты собираются для архитектур i386, amd64, armel, armhf, arm64, ppc64el и riscv64.
Дистрибутив сопровождает около 400 пакетов, позволяющих функционировать без systemd, такие как например, elogind, OpenRC или runit. В целом, дистрибутив сохраняет совместимость с Debian, за исключением данных моментов. Доступны также окружения: Cinnamon, KDE, LXQt, LXDE, MATE и Sway. Система инициализации по умолчанию – SysVinit, можно перейти на OpenRC и runit. Также присутствует возможность работы без D-Bus. В качестве сетевого менеджера используется Network-Manager в варианте, не привязанном к systemd. ConsoleKit используется в Xfce и MATE, в остальных – elogind. Также стали доступны неофициальные сборки для Raspberry Pi.
Запущен также Devuan Testing 7 «Freia». Ключевые особенности релиза со стороны Devuan пока неизвестны.

Ubuntu 25.04 Support Ends Next Week (Jan 15th)

Support for Ubuntu 25.04 ‘Plucky Puffin’ officially ends on 15th January 2026 which, for those of you reading in a timely fashion, is next week. Once Ubuntu 25.04 reaches End of Life (EoL) it gets no more security patches, app updates or bug fixes, no matter how critical. There aren’t any real-time public stats revealing how many people use each version of Ubuntu, but as Ubuntu 25.10 was released last October so has been out for around 3 months by this point, I’d be surprised if many were holding off. That said, if you do still use the Plucky Puffin […]

Анализ исправления ошибок в ядре Linux - в среднем ошибки замечают через 2 года

Опубликованы результаты исследования времени обнаружения и устранения ошибок в коде ядра Linux. Данные получены в результате анализа исправления 125 тысяч ошибок, помеченных в Git-репозитории тегом "Fixes:", ссылающимся на коммит, в котором возникла ошибка. Среднее время обнаружения ошибок в ядре составило 2.1 года. Если рассматривать только ошибки, исправленные в 2025 году, данный показатель составил 2.8 года.
